Poor Josie has had a rotten few days; having had a restless night on Wednesday and been as miserable as sin on Thursday morning at Tammy’s, she had mutated into a screaming, heartbroken monster by the time Barbara arrived. And she screamed, through Calpol and Nurofen, refusing boob or bottle or any food, or indeed […]

Probably signing off for a day or two now. Ammi and Josie were up half the night so a slow and disorganised start to the day *sigh* Have just spent the morning with Tammy and the “naturally exuberant” Sam 😉 Do love that boy. Girls all thoroughly enjoyed the various science experiements Tammy had laid […]

You see, Orgo Planning is good for me 🙂 Although i do seem to have failed on the Amelie front a bit; still there’s always next week to rescue that relationship 😉 In fact, i’m so pleased with my list-itis, that i have awarded myself a whole new PoP Badge 😉 *Chp 2 and 3 […]

Late nights are seriously catching up with me, i think i might have to leave serious novelling till my children don’t require my input at all! For reasons best known to my inner soul (who is not speaking to me), it has become a point of honour to finish it. I really don’t know why; […]

Title only applicable to me really. This song by James Blunt brought me up short today, in a moment i had no right to be even having. I’m putting it here to remind myself of myself. Have just finished reading a chapter of The Horse and His Boy that i really love, one where Shasta […]

Most nights i have to drive to the Sorting Office in the early evening. Living where we do, this mainly means a drive through middle class surburbia of a 1930’s sort – and perfectly nice it is too. Except at this time of year. For reasons only known to the perpetrators, during the months of […]

We’ve had visitors 🙂 Joanna has been over with her two, which was delightful. Didn’t get enough time to talk to Joanna, mainly because i had also invited the Beans to gatecrash but all the kids had a lovely time – and so did we. Great fun. Look on the Beans site for photos 🙂 […]

Must blog, if only because it has been so pleasantly mundane! I do feel like we are in a particularly enjoyable phase of family life right now, even boring stuff (in comparion to our busy summer) is just feeling very ‘right’. So, high points were: *Sitting at the table with Fran yesterday morning, while i […]

*Chp 2 and 3 of SOTW – do mapwork, brooch and selected from Chp 3 – otherwise, we’ll move on to something new. *Read some Celtic Faerie stories and perhaps find a bit more on Beowulf. *Look at Farm through Time Book. *Try and finish Horse and His Boy. Fran *Decide on next Badges. * […]

ARGH. Am stuck here sewing on Brownie Badges. Maybe this is just me but ARGH! The sash is narrow, the badges are huge; the sash needs to be worn across the body on an angle, the bages are squares with the design making them diamonds. So – if you line them up against the edge […]
